Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.
Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Are you laughing?
Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.
Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in
Ben Stein is right. He nailed it. We all know it's true, but one person can stand up in our legal society and cork us all, just like the famous athiest Madalyn Murray O'Hare who stopped school prayer, bible reading. She made it her life to oppose Christianity in America and fight with lawsuits any vulnerable place she could find in American society. Her son admitted she lied to the courts about him facing violence, one of the main themes of her winning her suit through the Supreme Court about "forced" bible reading in school -ending school prayer in America. She hated Christians and hated her own family. She was a miserable and cruel mother, a mean woman. People like that have contributed to what Ben Stein addresses. Even this whole Seattle SeaTac airport fiasco with the Christmas trees over the lawsuit threatened by the rabbi. I don't think the rabbi meant for things to go as far as they did, but it's more of the same that Ben Stein makes his point about.
We need common sense to prevail in our society again and for the courts to act quickly to strike down the "trolls and firestarters" whose goals are simply to tear apart the fabric of society.
You said that right, I think it is time things went back to what our heritage is about, why can people come in and change things when it has been this way for generations, I for one want my heritage back. Thanks, MoMark

Well, I think some change is good & necessary in a society... what's that saying, "the only constant is change?" But I agree we don't need to mess with little things, which really only bother a select few. We've discussed this on a few other threads already, so I won't go through all my thoughts again - but as long as nothing is forced on me (like making my children say a prayer in public school), this Jew doesn't care if you wish me a "Merry Christmas." I also appreciate some beautiful decorations and lights... there's one street nearby that goes ALL-out every year, and I'm looking forward to walking down & snapping some pics next week. I'm also looking forward to the menorah lighting downtown - Chanukah actually starts this evening!
Oh yeah, and I love Ben Stein... even though he is a Republican, lol.
